The Pumpkin War by Cathleen Young

4.0

This is a fun middle grade read about a girl with unique, interesting hobbies—keeping bees, growing pumpkins, helping her friend tend to llamas, etc. Billie's daily doings are intriguing, and the challenges she has because of them make her an intriguing narrator. Her friend and family problems keep her relatable. Although this is a fast read, there's a lot going on in this slim novel. It's engaging, fun, and touching. THE PUMPKIN WAR is a classic, timeless tale that will appeal to readers of all ages. I enjoyed it.
